Best way to remove engine on a P40

[Ben Nicol]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know the best way to remove the engine on a p40 ?

We are going to replace the 4.108 with a Beta 50 and are wondering if anyone has gone through the hatch in the saloon or through the companion way ?

Photos would be excellent if you have them.

Regards,
Ben

We progressively removed parts from our old Nanni engine until it fit through the hatch. There's no way the Beta 50 would fit through the hatch, so we built a wooden frame, and slid if from the companionway on UHMW skids.

My 4.108 went out through the saloon hatch. First it had to come up off
its mounts a couple of feet (after disconnecting the wiring harness and
removing the transmission, of course). Then everything extending off the
block had to come off: bell housing, cooling system, alternator, starter
motor, maybe another thing or two. Then up she went. I don't have the
photos on this computer, unfortunately.

Fit and tape down a couple of layers of cardboard on your cabin sole and
have lots of rags handy.

We removed the Nanni over the galley and out the companionway, then replaced with a Yanmar.

Thanks for the reply everyone. We have ordered the Beta and I will document the transplant.
